UConn -16.5 vs. Providence

[Tenspro2002]

I...have a hard time seeing this, even if Mullins is playing (which I haven't heard one way or another).

 

[AtlantaHusky]

I was kind of shocked to see this. Would be nice to see us have a no doubter. That said just win.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Betting UConn to cover the spread has been an awful decision this year and the BE games have been even worse. Anyone betting UConn to cover is a fool. Yes, you'll be right a few times, but it's not a smart season-long play this year.

 

[alexd]

Eeeek! I don't think so.

 

[KingAG]

I think we cover. We’re due and PC is in a tail spin. They have nothing left to play for

 

[Storrs South]

Two chances left to cover the spread this month, currently have not covered a single game in January

 

[Deepster]

They have injuries, they're in a 1-4 tailspin, I believe they're only going 7 deep (8 in emergencies), we're due for a night we click on all cylinders.

Be ready for the mass exodus of old timers with 4 minutes left in this route.

PC will always have us to play for but I agree with you. This is the week where we start playing more dominant basketball. This team will continue to confound any theory we have about who we think they are.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

I don’t care if we cover, but it would be really nice to not have a sweat for the first time in a long while

Yeah id prefer a weeknight game where it doesn’t take me an hour to fall asleep afterwards because of how stressful it was to watch

 

[Inyatkin]

If they truly think they're playing for their coach's job that can be a problem.

Naaaah.
Half their guys will be in the portal faster than you can count to three.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Vegas knows...

 

[superjohn]

Hurley should use this game as a showcase for Jamier Jones and Vaaks, maybe take them around campus and through the practice facility after the game.

 

[Inyatkin]

Yeah that's fair. Not like the old days

 

[Tenspro2002]

The wheels may be coming off for Providence, but they always get up for playing us, are probably fuming over their loss to us a few weeks ago while confident they can hang with us, and we're not exactly firing on all cylinders or showing a killer instinct for blowing someone out.

 

[Mr. French]

It’s down to 14.5 in some spots and I’m tempted but it’s been awhile since we blew anyone out. No mullins, I’m not sure it will happen. But I don’t want to root for a providence cover.

$2 beer night and the students have 12 hours of no classes to pregame $2 beer night. UConn by 30

 

[Lafayette]

And apparently "the matchup on Tuesday is the first meeting this season between the two teams in conference play" - ESPN Preview. Providence vs. UConn (Jan 27, 2026) Pregame - ESPN

Is there any news we can actually trust these days?

 

[Lafayette]

I...have a hard time seeing this, even if Mullins is playing (which I haven't heard one way or another).

Edwards is likely out (was in a boot this weekend). Demary will feast!

 

[Orc]

This will be down to the wire. Offense has not been good. Uconn wins 61-58

 

[boog204]

My desire to start betting against UConn and the spread is overwhelming... I just know the second I do, I lose the $. But, I mean, have the odds makers actually watched us? I feel like we never cover.

I predict a victory - again, higher scoring that is close throughout. I'm feeling 83-75 with free throws widening the margin. Key will be getting Oswin in foul trouble. If we do, we blow them out. But with Mullins out, I anticipate PC overplaying everything, and Tarris ends up standing awkwardly with the ball at the 3-point line, trying to take people off the dribble.

Sounds like we got a taker for Under 155.5!

 

[Tenspro2002]

I would actually be delighted if my bet on Providence +16.5 spurs a late-season run of actually looking like a 1 seed and dominating lesser opponents. You're welcome, everyone.

I hate to say it, but any line double digits or above for us seems like free money to bet the under
